I have a ton of ebooks saved on my comp and before I offer them, I just want to make sure there is nothing against the rules. I mean they are mine, and it would be just like loaning the book out, right? Anyway, I have tons of wishlist books so if its okay, I plan on offering them to you guys... :-) |

It's illegal, doesn't matter if you bought and paid for them, you cannot give them to anyone. |

how the heck would you even transfer them so someone else too unless they lived by you and you saved them to some kind of drive. is there some other way i'm missing other than the illegal downloading sites? |

It may depend on where you got it. I think that Sony sells you DRM rights to download a book to 6 devices - so essentially you're buying the right to share those books a limited number of times. |

All you have to do is email them. I know because I review ebooks, don't share them :) lol Last Edited on: 9/22/09 9:46 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Where you purchased the e-book doesn't matter, it depends on the legal rights of the publisher (not the retailer). Transfering ownership of e-books is considered illegal. Once asked Elloras Cave about their e-books appearing on e-bay. I was quickly informed that they do not license their e-publications for resale (despite seller claims) and all such sales were illegal and they would appreciate receiving notification of such activity. ETA - If transferring e-books was legit Christy, PBS would definately have threads dedicated to swapping!! Last Edited on: 9/24/09 11:25 AM ET - Total times edited: 2 |
